So, any predictions on whether the game will be played or not?

It’s 01:23 here and I’ll stop up until two if there’s some chance of the game starting; but if there isn’t, I’m off to bed.

Ok I know it's a rain delay...

but could they at least run This Old Cub or something else…

Instead we have the Sox with Dumb and Dumber…
